I came home tonight and found our yellow tang stuck up against the overflow in our Nano Cube 28 (I know, call the tang police). I moved him to another tank that uses an AC70 for flow and he promptly got stuck to the intake, so I moved him again to another tank which can tolerate having no flow for a while.
My best guess is he is starving because it seems like he is very skinny. Though we do see him eat and poop. I had accidentally let the Nano Cube get lower than usual and it took almost a gallon of RODI to top it off this morning. Everything else in the tank seems fine; are tangs more sensitive to salinity changes?
We've been feeding the tank at various times, Cyclop-eeze, crushed algae wafers, frozen brine shimp, frozen mysis shrimp, and even tried hanging some dried seaweed on a clip (though nothing touched it). There is a fair amount of green hair algae in the tank too, and we'd see the tang picking at it a little bit.
We've had him for almost 2 months (which might be how long they last if they're not eating good).
Just in case he's still alive in the morning, anyone have any suggestions?
